The JLPT places importance not only on (1) knowledge of Japanese-language vocabulary and grammar but also on the (2) ability to
use the knowledge in actual communication. In order to perform various "everyday tasks" that require language, not only language
knowledge but also the ability to actually use it are necessary. Therefore, the JLPT measures comprehensive Japanese-language
communicative competence through three elements: "Language Knowledge" to measure (1), and "Reading" and "Listening" tomeasure (2).

Due to the large scale of testing, answers will be machine-scored. Note that the JLPT does not include sections to measure speaking or
writing proficiency directly.

Copyright©JSB Japanese Language School25• NAT EXAMS 「日本語能力試験 NAT」
The Japanese Language NAT-TEST is an examination that measures the Japanese language ability of students who are
not native Japanese speakers. The tests are separated by difficulty (five levels) and general ability is measured in three
categories: Grammar/Vocabulary, Listening and Reading Comprehension. The format of the exam and the types ofquestions are equivalent to those that appear on the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

If you’re supporting yourself, make sure that all documents you provide are under yourname (as stated in your passport). If someone else is sponsoring your stay, a letter written and signed bythem should be enclosed and all other financial documents should show their name.

You can use the following documents to prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself.
